Happy New Year everyone. I have a question about the "kind" of gas that most of you get. Of course we have posted about the particularly foul smelling gas, but what about "hot" gas? Every so often, I get this and these are the foul ones also. I know...gross. Sometimes if my bottom is sore from a little hemmoroids, it actually hurts to pass the gas. Anyone experience this? And after a particular food?
I had been trying to eliminate some wheat and fructose in the forms of mostly bagels, ww bread, and fruit. I hadn't had gas like this for quite a few weeks even when I ate regular (italian) bread and a few berries here and there. In fact, I have been off the diet a bit this month due to the holidays, yet despite some extra fat sweets (cookies/chocolate cake products but not candy), I have been fortunate to stay stable. So yesterday I wanted to get back on track (you know...New Year's resolution to lose weight and all  ) and I ate oatmeal for breakfast (never a problem), then had a bagel with Smart Balance Light and strawberries for lunch. An hour or so later, bam...the awful, foul, hot gas that I mentioned. So I'm wondering if it was the quantity of strawberries? As far as fructose goes, I thought that strawberries were lower on the list of fruits with high levels. Could I just have eaten too many? (I had about 5-6 large ones). OR is there some other ingredient in bagels that could trigger the gas that is not in bread and wheat products? It seems that I recall a few times in the long past when I had gas after eating bagels (but then I used to think it was the cream cheese...pre-Heather).
Syl and any other scientific experts, does the warmness of the gas indicate anything? And what about the bagels? (I often notice a difference too depending on where I buy them. This was from Dunkin Donuts). Thanks!! and sorry if TMI
